40 years of harsh weather with salty stormy winds. This is the reason for the sustainable, high-quality products for the construction industry today. SSAB's technical support team for color coated steel, recently visited the test station where nature demands the requirements.

SSAB’s subsidiary Ruukki Construction has agreed to acquire a majority holding (67%) in the Finnish company Piristeel Oy. Piristeel Oy’s sales in 2018 were around SEK 200 million (appr. EUR 20m), whereof the majority from Finland. Piristeel Oy is Finland’s leading manufacturer of roof safety products and rainwater systems. The transaction supports Ruukki Construction’s growth strategy for the roofing business, at the same time improving SSAB’s position in the Nordic home market.
